"You won't hear us using the metaphor 'drug war" Brown says. "We should help those who need help and arrest those who are traf­ ficking in drugs. But I don't think we should declare war against our own people," states the former head of police in New York, Houston and Atlanta. BUT WASHINGTON, D.C.

Aristide blasts Clinton Haitt policy as racist WASHINGTON, D.C. - The exiled president of Haiti, Jean­ Bertrand Aristide, last week denounced Clinton administra­ tion policy toward his country, labeling the policy "racist." Aristide was particularly upset with Clinton's continuation of Bush administration policy in which refugees from Cuba are eagerly accepted in the U.S. while refugees fleeing the oppres­ sive regime in Haiti are forced to return. According to Aristide - who was overthrown by the coun­ try's current military regime - the U.S. policy toward Haiti is "really a way of saying we don't care. " The ousted leader is also frustrated that the U.S. has not done more to restore him to power. Meanwhile, a Clinton spokesperson said, "Our policy remains to restore democracy and restore President Aristide" to Haiti. T .
